"Boom!"
The Demon Moon Furnace, condensed from Long Chen's soul power, shattered in an instant. Under the phoenix's attack, it looked utterly fragile.
Long Chen was shocked. Feng Fei's soul attacks were surprisingly sharp. Their soul powers were evenly matched, and Long Chen even felt his own soul power was even stronger than Feng Fei's.
However, under the use of soul power, Long Chen was far inferior to Feng Fei. Long Chen possessed powerful soul power but didn't know how to use it, and was broken through by Feng Fei with a single blow.
Feng Fei could condense all her power together and unleash it, but Long Chen's soul power was clearly insufficient. With a single strike, Feng Fei's soul beast shattered Long Chen's defense.
The sword of light in the phoenix's eyes remained undiminished, slashing straight at Long Chen. At the same time, endless soul aura surged wildly into Long Chen's sea of consciousness, stirring up a towering wave.
Long Chen was actually completely stiff and unable to move. That was the result of being locked onto by the phoenix. The phoenix's attack had directly invaded Long Chen's sea of consciousness, intending to kill him.
Feng Fei herself was startled. She had thought Long Chen was so arrogant that he must have a backup plan. But the Demon Moon Furnace shattered, and soul power directly invaded his sea of consciousness. With this strike, Long Chen was doomed.
She had been very angry at Long Chen for repeatedly offending her and not giving her the respect she deserved. Today, Long Chen scolded her for being foolish again, so she acted to teach Long Chen a lesson, but she never intended to kill him.
But who would have thought that despite Long Chen's immense soul power, he didn't know how to use it? At this moment, it was too late to withdraw her attack, and a trace of regret immediately rose in her heart, but it was all too late.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Long Chen's brow suddenly glowed. The divine gate within his sea of consciousness opened, the Divine Gate Star trembled, and a divine light shot out, shredding all the soul power that had invaded Long Chen's mind.
Shenguan Star seemed provoked and actually launched an attack on its own. This attack not only gathered Long Chen's soul power but also carried a strange law that burst forth from Long Chen's brow.
The divine light struck the sword of light slashed by the phoenix, shattering it like a force that could crush dry wood. The remaining momentum of the light did not wane, slashing at the phoenix stretching ten thousand miles.
"Pfft!"
The divine light pierced through the phoenix's head and pierced through its back, actually piercing through the phoenix.
The phoenix shattered in an instant, turning into a flood of runes that finally surged toward Feng Fei. Feng Fei swayed in the void, retreating several steps. Her face was drained of color. A trace of fresh blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, slowly dripping onto the ground.
"Lady Feng Fei is injured."
Feng Fei's maids and attendants were shocked and rushed forward. The maids supported Feng Fei, and to their shock, they found her aura had weakened considerably.
On the other side, Long Chen's face was also ashen, and even the light in his eyes had dimmed considerably.
Just now, when Shen Guan Star attacked automatically, it not only used Long Chen's soul power but also extracted the powers of Feng Mansion, Yu Heng, Siming, and Gong Qi, with only the power of Mingmen Star not being used.
With the power of the Five Stars drained, Long Chen didn't know what kind of power had been extracted. Anyway, after the strike, he felt a wave of weakness and exhaustion—a situation he had never encountered before.
"Bastard! Lady Fengfei has shown you mercy, yet you took the opportunity to strike harm. Today, I'll kill you." A guard roared loudly. Seeing Long Chen's aura weaken, he charged at Long Chen with a long sword. As soon as he struck, the other guards rushed over as well.
"Idiot, you think just because I'm injured, I can't deal with you all?"
Long Chen snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent. With his hands behind his back, a bronze token quietly appeared in his palms—it was from the Gate of Hell.
"Stop!"
Just then, a cold shout rang out—it was Feng Fei speaking. Her voice was clearly weak, and it was obvious that Feng Fei was seriously injured.
Feng Fei's voice was quiet, but the guards immediately stopped in their tracks, not daring to disobey in the slightest. Although they knew this was the best time to kill Long Chen, Feng Fei had given the order, and they had no choice but to give up.
What no one knew was that a single sentence from Feng Fei pulled them back from the brink of death.
Seeing those people retreat, Long Chen quietly put away the bronze tokens. This gesture was extremely discreet; no one saw him. Long Chen remained standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Feng Fei calmly.
Feng Fei also looked at Long Chen and said coldly, "I underestimated you. This time, we fought to a draw, but next time, you won't be so lucky. I'll give it my all." Everything
that just happened happened so suddenly that she didn't have any time to prepare and was injured in a confused way.
However, Feng Fei had her own pride, and she didn't want to make a second move. So, they agreed to fight again next time. She could tell Long Chen was probably more seriously injured than she was.
"I hope there won't be a next time, because if you attack me again, I might kill you." Long Chen looked at Feng Fei, a cold glint deep in his eyes.
Some people who don't know right and wrong will take your life because of their foolishness. For such people, Long Chen still treats them as enemies. He won't show mercy to enemies, even if you're a peerless beauty, he'll still strike to the death.
"Long Chen, you're too arrogant, repeatedly disrespecting Feng Fei's enemies. Today, I'll teach you a lesson, you arrogant scoundrel."
At that moment, Di Feng stepped forward from the crowd, pointing at Long Chen with righteous righteousness and shouting loudly.
"Hahaha... Long
Chen laughed up at the sky, "People say a tiger fallen on the plains is bullied by dogs, but dogs are still dogs. No matter how weak a tiger is, it can slap you to death."
Even if your aura is different now, even if you might have gained more benefits from the Blood Emperor, as long as you dare to act, I can still beat you to death. "
You..." Di Feng's heart tightened. It seemed Long Chen had discovered some of his secrets. In front of Long Chen, he seemed to see right through everything, which made him feel a bit uneasy.
Long Chen had defeated him several times. Every time he saw Long Chen, he felt a sense of fear and dread. Long Chen had become his inner demon, and with just one sentence, Long Chen made him feel a bit guilty.
"But don't worry, I won't take your life today, because your life isn't mine. In the future, someone will settle accounts with your Di family, so I won't take your life." Long Chen said calmly.
"Such shameless claims! Today I'll teach you a lesson and stand up for Lady Fengfei."
Although Di Feng felt a bit uneasy, Long Chen was seriously injured at this moment. For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if he couldn't kill Long Chen, he could at least humiliate him.
Moreover, now he had an excuse to teach Long Chen a lesson for Feng Fei. In the future, no one would laugh at him. He could both please Feng Fei and uncover some of Long Chen's background to see if he was trying to scare people.
Just as Di Feng was about to make a move, Feng Fei snorted coldly and said, "Today, no one is allowed to trouble Long Chen. Next time, I will personally defeat him." "
Lady Fengfei, but he ...," Di Feng panicked; this opportunity was too rare.
Feng Fei ignored Di Feng and instead looked at Long Chen and said, "Although you are arrogant, you truly have the right to be arrogant. You may leave. Next time, I will make sure you are defeated with complete conviction." "
"Lady Fengfei has already spoken, why aren't you going to get lost?"
Di Feng was furious inside, but he didn't dare lose his temper at Feng Fei. Instead, he shouted at Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled calmly and also ignored Di Feng, turning to Feng Fei and saying, "I've said what I needed to say. How you choose is up to you." After
Long Chen finished speaking, he summoned the flying boat. The runes on the boat trembled as it sped away.
Watching Long Chen's departing figure, Feng Fei snorted coldly and turned her head, saying, "Departure, return to the Divine Clan." The
guards quickly took out the carriage. The maids lifted the curtain and invited Feng Fei inside, which sped away and disappeared into the sky.
"Di Feng, after I leave, if you cause trouble for Long Chen, I will kill you."
The carriage disappeared, but Feng Fei's cold voice echoed through the void.
"This woman,"
Di Feng gritted his teeth and threw a punch into the air, causing the void to roar. He had planned to chase after Long Chen immediately after Feng Fei left, but Feng Fei saw through it.
"Feng'er, if you can't endure small things, you ruin big plans. What is Long Chen worth? Compared to our grand plan, it's nothing to laugh at.
Besides, Feng Fei is a favored daughter of heaven. You must maintain proper manners and the demeanor of a master. Maybe one day, hehe..." Di Long chuckled.
"Her?"
Di Feng was taken aback, then shook his head. He was self-aware—Feng Fei was far too arrogant, not taking anyone seriously.
He was a seasoned veteran among the courtesans, able to see Feng Fei's personality at a glance. Unless a woman like her crushed her with absolute strength, no one could control her.
"What now? Is it really just like that? Missing out on such a golden opportunity? Should we send someone to ...?" Di Feng was still unwilling to give up.
Dilong shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Don't do anything foolish that doesn't mean it. There's no point in it. Let's just wipe our butts clean now." After
saying this, Di Long led everyone back to the headquarters of the Ancient Family Alliance.
...
"Brother Long Chen, Ling'er is so strange. Why didn't you tell Feng Fei what happened? Falling into someone else's trap for nothing—how unwilling to accept it. Ling'er asked in confusion.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Even a trap needs fools to cooperate. Explaining it won't help. Dilong and the others have already set this trap and won't give me a chance." "
Ling'er doesn't understand. Brother Long Chen, can you explain it to me?" Ling'er said.
"Actually, it's very simple. Even if I told the whole thing, Dilong would immediately apologize and then investigate right away.
This inspection won't yield results unless it drags on for ten days or half a month. With my temper, do I really think I'll wait for them to check?
They calculated my temper and devised countless schemes to escalate the conflict between me and Feng Fei, hoping to use Feng Fei to kill me. Even if they couldn't kill me, they would at least make us enemies.
So as soon as I arrived, I laid out their scheme directly, but Feng Fei, that foolish woman, still fell for it obediently, so there was nothing I could do. "Long Chen got angry whenever he mentioned this. This woman was just too foolish."
"That old man, are you just going to let him get away with it?" Ling'er said somewhat unwillingly. The old man piloting the flying boat hadn't been caught, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
"What's there to argue with someone who's doomed to die?" Long Chen shook his head and steered the flying boat away at high speed.
